The Odontiinae species of Iran are reviewed. Tegostoma pseudosarobiella Alipanah & Nazari sp. n. and T. tremewani Alipanah & Nazari sp. n. are newly described. Tegostoma moeschleri (Christoph, 1862) is considered as a senior synonym of T. uniforma Amsel, 1951 syn. n., T. lepidalis lepidalis (Herrich-Schäffer, 1851) as a senior synonym of T. lepidalis apurpurealis Amsel, 1970 syn. n., and Aeschremon belutschistanalis Amsel, 1959 as a senior synonym of Tegostoma marginalis Amsel, 1961 syn. n. The genus Autocharis Swinhoe, 1894 and five species, namely Aporodes dentifascialis Christoph in Romanoff, 1887, Cynaeda forsteri de Lattin, 1951, Aeschremon ochrealis Asselbergs, 2008, A. desertalis Asselbergs, 2008 and Autocharis fessalis (Swinhoe, 1887) are newly reported for the fauna of Iran. The redescription of female of Tegostoma confluentalis Hampson, 1913, male genitalia of Aeschremon belutschistanalis, and female genitalia of Epimetasia abbasalis Amsel, 1974 are presented. The hitherto unknown female of A. belutschistanalis and the hitherto unknown male of E. abbasalis are described and illustrated. The intraspecific variations of the species if present are discussed and additional new diagnostic characters to separate the closely related species are presented. Data on the geographical distribution of the Iranian species of this subfamily as well as their distribution maps are provided.

New host plants are recorded for Cepurga hemorobiella (Scopoli, 1763) and Multicoloria astragalella (Zeller, 1849). Two generic names are synonymized: Helopharea Falkovitsh, 1972 = Agapalsa Falkovitsh, 1972, syn. nov. and Orthographis Falkovitsh, 1972 = Helvalbia Căpuşe, 1973, syn. nov. Two new combinations are proposed: Helopharea lusciniaepennella (Treitschke, 1833), comb. n. and Orthographis lineolea (Haworth, 1828), comb. n. 12 figs, 19 refs.

Quoted in Christopher Ford's profile of the composer, Crosse was referring—with characteristic wit—to the need to find his own personal style in order to escape classification as merely a disciple of a ‘Maxwell Davies School’. Crosse's Renaissance techniques and motivic delineation had always differed significantly from Davies's and in the 12 years since that article appeared, as if to prove this point, Crosse has pursued a different direction, centred on the drama and contrasts possible in the concerto or ‘concertante’. The development of his now highly personal style can be recognized as a synthesis of his earlier experiments in serial procedures. Between 1972 and 1977 Crosse wrote three concertantes: Ariadne, for oboe and 12 players (1971–2), Thel, for flute, two horns, and double string septet (1974–6), and Wildboy, for clarinet, cimbalom, and seven players (1977); pieces which share similar origins and musical processes, and provide explicit examples of his compositional methods. To illustrate this personal style, I will compare the origins and musical materials of the first two concertantes and fit them into the context of his output in the period from 1972–7.

Abstract The Netherlands and Denmark housed Europe’s first two postwar homophile organizations, and by the 1960s, activists were already debating anti-homosexual laws in national media (in the Netherlands) demonstrating publicly; thus Stonewall was not the origin of activism in either of these countries. Yet the events in New York City 1969 had two lasting influences in these countries: first, Stonewall catalyzed a transnational ‘consciousness’ (or solidarity) among gay and lesbian activists during a period of radicalization; and second, the Christopher Street Liberation Day 1970 inspired the visible demonstrations known today as ‘Pride’ celebrations. From 1971, Denmark’s national organization planned Christopher Street Day demonstrations every June; and that same year, a radical Gay Liberation Front split off from the association. From 1977, the Netherlands planned its own late-June demonstrations, often with transnational themes (e.g. Anita Bryant in 1977, the Iranian Revolution in 1979). In the following decades, these demonstrations of gay/lesbian visibility moved to August, and Denmark (and Belgium) dropped Christopher Street from event names. Yet scholars, activists, and the general public still evoke the memory of the first Liberation Day when referring to a ‘post-Stonewall’ era in the Netherlands and Denmark.

Die Leibniz-Wolffsche Tradition hat im Bereich der Geschichte der Philosophie an Bedeutung gewonnen.[1] Zu dieser Tradition zählen neben den Namensgebern, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz und Christian Wolff, die Vertreter der deutschen Schulmetaphysik des 18. Jahrhunderts und die Leibnizianer wie Moses Mendelssohn oder Johann August Eberhard.[2] Zu der deutschen Schulmetaphysik des 18. Jahrhunderts gehören neben Wolff die „Wolffianer“, bspw. Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten, Johann Christoph Gottsched, Georg Friedrich Meier oder Hermann Samuel Reimarus, während Leibniz und (zumeist) auch Mendelssohn nicht zur deutschen Schulmetaphysik gezählt werden (Heimsoeth, 1967, Krijnen, 2017, Wundt, 1964).[3]Indes ist Leibniz auch für Wolff und die Wolffianer eine Schlüsselfigur gewesen. [1] Seit dem Ende des zweiten Weltkriegs hat die Erforschung der Leibniz-Wolffschen Tradition in den 1960er und den 1970er Jahren einen ersten Höhepunkt erreicht (vgl. bspw. Arndt, 1971, Bissinger, 1970, École, 1973, 1979). In dieser Einleitung werden vor allem Arbeiten erwähnt, die nach der Jahrtausendwende erschienen sind, um auf diese Weise das aktuelle Interesse an der Leibniz-Wolffschen Tradition zu verdeutlichen. [2] Von der deutschen Schulmetaphysik des 18. Jahrhunderts ist die deutsche Schulmetaphysik des 17. Jahrhunderts zu unterscheiden. Zur deutschen Schulmetaphysik des 17. Jahrhunderts siehe Wundt (1939). [3] Gideon Stiening zählt Mendelssohn jedoch zur deutschen Schulmetaphysik (Stiening, 2014, S. 55).

A revision of the genus Drasteria within Central Asia and Kazakhstan with attention to the adjacent areas is presented. The status and position of all Drasteria taxa known from this area is clarified, the primary types are revised, primary types and their genitalia are illustrated. The following lectotypes are designated: Leucanitis aberrans Staudinger, 1888, Leucanitis tenera var. antiqua Staudinger, 1889, Leucanitis axuana Püngeler, 1907, Leucanitis cailino var. obscura Staudinger, 1901, Leucanitis cailino forma baigacumensis John, 1921, Euclidia сatocalis Staudinger, 1882, Ophiusa astrida Eversmann, 1857, Leucanitis herzi Alphéraky, 1895, Leucanitis chinensis Alphéraky, 1892, Ophiusa flexuosa Ménétriés, 1849, Leucanitis flexuosa var. caspica Staudinger, 1901, Leucanitis indecora John, 1910, Leucanitis kabylaria A. Bang-Haas, 1906, Leucanitis kusnezovi John, 1910, Syneda langi Erschoff, 1874, Leucanitis obscurata Staudinger, 1882, Leucanitis cailino var. picta Christoph, 1877, Leucanitis picta var. radapicta Staudinger, 1901, Leucanitis saisani var. clara Staudinger, 1894, Leucanitis scolopax Alphéraky, 1892, Leucanitis sculpta Püngeler, 1904, Leucanitis pamira John, 1921, Leucanitis sesquilina Staudinger, 1888, Leucanitis sinuosa Staudinger, 1894, Leucanitis tenera Staudinger, 1877. The type locality of Drasteria antiqua corrected to “Chinese Kashgaria”. The following synonymy is established: Drasteria flexuosa mongolica (Staudinger, 1896) = D. pulverosa pulverosa Wiltshire, 1969, syn. n.; = D. pulverosa intermedia Ronkay, 1985, syn. n.; D. picta (Christoph, 1877) = Drasteria austera (John, 1921), syn. n. The following new statuses are proposed: D. langi obscurata (Staudinger, 1882), stat. n., D. axuana indecora (John, 1910), stat. n. A new species, Drasteria pseudopicta Matov et Korb, sp. n., from the vicinities of Dosang (Astrakhan Province, Russia) is described. The brief DNA analysis (COI sequence) of the closely related taxa of the Central Asiatic Drasteria is presented. A key to species of the genus Drasteria of the studied area is compiled.

We describe and illustrate Ancylis youmiae, sp. nov., from Heilongjiang (Laoyeling), China, and report five other species of Ancylis from China for the first time: A. melanostigma Kuznetsov, 1970, A. partitana (Christoph, 1881), A. repandana Kennel, 1901, A. uncella ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775), and A. upupana (Treitschke, 1835). Ancylis mandarinana (Walsingham, 1900), which has not been documented from China since its original description, is rediscovered. For all species we provide redescriptions, illustrations, and information on geographic distribution and host plants.

So far, the species of the genus Rhodostrophia Hübner, 1823 (Geometridae), their diagnostic characters and their distribution in Iran have not been investigated in detail. Moreover, some species were misunderstood by earlier authors. To solve these problems, a survey of the Iranian Rhodostrophia species based on over 1700 specimens has been executed. The type series of all species known from Iran were examined. Additionally extensive material from different museums and private collections was morphologically studied and compared with the type material. DNA-barcoding was used as an independent line of information and the results were compared with the morphological data. Examination of the type material revealed that R. cuprinaria (Christoph, 1876) was misinterpreted for a long time. The taxon R. nubifera Brandt, 1941 syn. nov. is a younger synonym of Hugo Christoph’s R. cuprinaria, which was misidentified by himself in his later publications. An available name for “R. cuprinaria” in the old, erroneous sense is R. phaenicearia (Hampson, 1907). Three subspecies were recognized for R. terrestraria, including R. terrestraria farsi ssp. nov. Additionally, R. terrestraria furialis Brandt, 1941 syn. nov. is here regarded as junior synonym of R. terrestraria (Lederer, 1869); Rhodostrophia nubifera nubifera Brandt, 1941 syn. nov. and R. nubifera klapperichi Wiltshire, 1966 syn. nov. are here regarded as junior synonyms of R. cuprinaria (Christoph, 1876). R. abscisaria chlorotica Wiltshire, 1967 syn. nov. is downgraded to synonymy of R. abscisaria Brandt, 1941 and R. peripheres debilis Wiltshire, 1949 syn. nov. to synonymy of R. peripheres Prout, 1938. Rhodostrophia vahabzadehi sp. nov. is described as a new species. In total, 15 species are regarded as valid for the fauna of Iran. External and internal morphological characters for all examined species are illustrated. Distribution data are shown on maps for of all species. An updated checklist is presented for the Iranian representatives of the genus Rhodostrophia.

Entrer dans les poèmes par le concept de voix, c’est s’engager dans une poétique de l’écoute au plus près des corps : corps écrivant, oralisant, performant, traduisant, corps du lecteur, du spectateur. Dès lors qu’on entreprend de déconstruire la métaphore de la voix et d’en observer les modalités de passage, on révèle les liens décisifs qui existent entre le langage comme force physique et la poétique comme éthique et politique. Le concept de passage de voix produit des leviers critiques qui impliquent d’autres déconstructions, rebattant les cartes de nombreux dualismes qui empêchent le plus souvent d’apercevoir l’activité relationnelle du langage, au premier rang desquels l’opposition entre oral et écrit. Envisager les voix non telles des signatures, comme le font souvent la stylistique ou l’histoire littéraire, mais comme des processus, c’est écouter des rythmes de subjectivations dont l’énergie se déploie depuis la vie énonciative du langage, avec leur valeur transformatrice voire émancipatrice. Cela implique des découvertes sur notre conception des lieux et de la temporalité, non comme des catégories thématiques ou ontologiques mais anthropologiques. Questionnant des textes théoriques ayant à cœur d’explorer les enjeux conceptuels de la voix, du rythme, du sujet (Meschonnic, Martin, Rabaté, Dessons, Bernadet), et en s’appuyant sur un corpus principal composé des œuvres protéiformes des poètes français contemporains Stéphane Bouquet, Christophe Manon et Frank Smith (textes, performances, vidéos), la thèse explore trois grandes modalités des passages de voix, en définit les enjeux et les effets : mouvements de diffraction, de spatialisation, de présentation
To enter poems through the concept of voice is to engage in a poetics of listening intently to bodies: the bodies which write, speak aloud, perform and translate, as well as the bodies of the reader and the spectator. When we undertake to deconstruct the metaphor of the voice and observe its forms of passage, we discover the decisive links that exist between language as a physical force and poetics as ethics and politics. The concept of the passage of voice gives rise to critical levers which involve other deconstructions, thereby changing the way we think about many dualisms. These latter usually prevent us from perceiving the relational activity of language, foremost among which is the opposition between oral and written language. To consider voices not as signatures – as stylistics or literary history often do – but as processes is to listen to the rhythms of subjectivations whose energy unfolds from the enunciative life of language, with their transformative or even emancipatory value. This implies discoveries about our conception of places and temporality, not as thematic or ontological categories, but as anthropological ones.This thesis explores three main forms of voice passages and sets out their issues and effects: movements of diffraction, spatialisation and presentation. To do so, it questions theoretical texts which focus on investigating the conceptual issues of voice, rhythm and subject (Meschonnic, Martin, Rabaté, Dessons, Bernadet), based on a main corpus (in the form of texts, performances and videos) made up of the protean works of the contemporary French poets Stéphane Bouquet, Christophe Manon and Frank Smith

Film noir has returned as a commercially attractive genre in the last ten years following the success of Pulp Fiction. This thesis discusses the differences of style and content and reasons for these differences between the present incarnation of film noir and its predecessors. As a director whose three feature films to date all contain noir elements, the work of Christopher Nolan is contextualized with that of his contemporaries while the purpose of his expression of these elements is also considered.
O Film Noir regressou como género comercialmente atraente nos últimos dez anos e na sequência do sucesso de Pulp Fiction. Nesta tese tentamos analisar as diferenças de estilo e de conteúdo, e as razões para estas diferenças entre a incarnação actual do Film Noir e a dos seus antecessores. Enquanto realizador cujos filmes até hoje apresentados contêm elementos de Film Noir, a obra de Christopher Nolan é contextualizada com a dos seus contemporâneos, ao mesmo tempo que se analisa igualmente o objectivo da expressão destes elementos.

The following narrative traces the political lives of James Sullivan, Christopher Gore, Rufus King and John Quincy Adams, four Massachusetts men who were actively involved in the creation of state and national policy during the formative years of the new republic. Their years of public service bridged the critical period between the Revolution and the period of Democratic- Republican dominance. Because they knew each other so well, corresponded with one another on a regular basis, and held so many different state and national government posts, their lives provide an ideal vehicle to explore and better understand the changes that were taking place in post-Revolutionary Massachusetts. Their stories help trace the evolution of Massachusetts from a Federalist stronghold into a legitimate multi-party state firmly committed to the national union. The primary figure in this study is Sullivan, the oldest of the four men, who was the state's highest ranking Republican leader during much of the Federalist Era. A staunch opponent of the Federalist assumption that government should be in the hands of the natural gentry and ruling class, he spent his adult life promoting equal access to power. After serving as a member of the Massachusetts Provincial Congress from 1774 to 1776, Sullivan was an active participant in the creation of the new state government. He later served as attorney general for seventeen years, from 1790 to 1807, through several Federalist administrations and served as a member of state legislature for many years. He also was a member of the Supreme Judicial Court and, in the final years of his life, governor of the Commonwealth. Because he participated in or observed firsthand the most significant political events of his day, his words also help trace, as few others could, the gradual transformation of Massachusetts from a one party state to a multi-party state. His election as governor in 1807 was clear evidence of the growing strength of the Republican Party in Massachusetts and of the extent to which the emerging national consensus had grown. Christopher Gore, whose stature and perspective were more deeply rooted in the colonial past, stood in stark personal as well as political contrast to Sullivan. As a conservative Federalist who often served as spokesman for his party during this period, Gore was a major player in the Massachusetts legal community and government between the American Revolution and early years of the nineteenth century. He stubbornly adhered to the aristocratic belief that the government should only be managed by the propertied class and traditional ruling elite. Where Sullivan was a sentimental moralist who hated everything British, Gore was the stern and unyielding spokesman for the merchant class who seemingly admired everything British. Where Sullivan's father had emigrated from Ireland, the victim of oppressive Penal Laws, Gore's father was a Tory, who fled Boston with the British in March 1776. Though Gore himself supported the Revolution, he was never able to shed, or indeed temper, his attachment to Great Britain in later years. As perhaps the most passionate defender of everything British in the years after the Revolution, Gore's habits and customs reflected the old deferential order and embodied everything Sullivan opposed. Despite their personal and political differences, Sullivan and Gore shared a close personal friend. Rufus King was a longtime confidant of both men, corresponding with each of them over many years. Though King's habits and background were more similar to those of Gore than Sullivan, he was less rooted in the colonial past than his conservative friend. Though an ardent Federalist, he was respected by men on both sides of the political aisle and served not only as a bridge between the two parties, but as a bridge between the two branches of his own party. It is because he enjoyed such a close personal relationship with Sullivan and Gore, and corresponded with both men on a regular basis, that King provides a unique vehicle to explore the differences between the two parties during this critical period in Massachusetts political history. The fourth subject of this study is John Quincy Adams. The fiercely independent one-time Federalist, who, though born many years after Gore, King, and Sullivan, became active in politics at a very young age and crossed political paths with all three men on a regular basis. Although born a member of the second generation of political leaders, Quincy Adams identified with the first generation of Revolutionary leaders. He matured early and took part in every critical debate that took place after the ratification of the Constitution. From the beginning, Quincy Adams charted an independent course and played a critical role in the growth of the Republican Party. John Quincy Adams is particularly relevant to this study because his political transformation reflected the change in attitude that was taking place in Massachusetts and the country in the early years of the nineteenth century. He represented a commitment to the interests of union over sectional concerns. A strong and independent unionist throughout his life, Quincy Adams eventually came to represent a new global nationalism. In many respects, Quincy Adams was the `transition man' in post- Revolutionary America. The son of a colonial who was very much a product of the deferential society of the eighteenth century, young Adams came to embrace the principle of majority rule. His elevation to the highest political posts in the country marked the final stage in America's transition from colony to union to nation. James Sullivan, Christopher Gore and Rufus King each played significant roles in the establishment of constitutional government in Massachusetts and in the United States. Though he was considered a member of the so-called Hancock faction, a group viewed as primarily anti-Constitutionalist, Sullivan was an independent thinker. He would call for greater legal safeguards for the benefit of the more vulnerable and for the end of the practice of multiple office holding which had long been a tool of the ruling elite to maintain power and influence. A vocal proponent of the national government before King, Gore and Hancock, Sullivan had long recognized the importance of strengthening the central government. His embrace of participatory government and of law aimed at protecting all classes of people naturally appealed to a wider audience would continue to contribute to the democratization of Massachusetts politics. With a new national government in place and a new political era begun, Sullivan, King, Gore, and soon Quincy Adams, were uniquely positioned to play significant, if competing, roles in the coming struggle. This narrative differs from other secondary works on post-colonial Massachusetts in several respects. Firstly, the significant role played by Sullivan in the growth of Republicanism in Massachusetts has been largely overlooked by historians. His persistent calls for equal access to power stood in stark contrast to the views of the Federalists who dominated Massachusetts government in the years after the American Revolution. His active participation in regional politics both during and after the Revolution helped the people of Massachusetts in their transition from colony to state. Furthermore, he was one of the first Massachusetts political leaders to insist on placing the new central government on a sound financial footing. Indeed, his call for a strengthened and sufficiently financed national government predated the efforts of Massachusetts Federalists, including King and Gore. He was, I contend, one of the first political leaders of either party to be considered a true `nationalist.' While Quincy Adams' support for Jefferson's Embargo and his conversion to Republicanism have been well documented, this work explores the link between Sullivan and Quincy Adams, and details the critically important role they played in the national debate over how to respond to British aggression towards American shipping and American sailors. Though Gordon Wood and other historians point to the Embargo as the single biggest failure of Jefferson and his Republican supporters, I contend the opposite is true. The Embargo highlighted the central difference between the two parties, and though it provided Federalists with a temporary victory, it also sowed the seeds of their defeat. The Embargo enabled men like Sullivan and Quincy Adams to clarify one of the central issues of the post-Revolutionary period, ... national honor. Though Paul Goodman correctly points out that Republicanism tapped into the growing sense of nationalism in the country, I carry the discussion further and detail the growing disconnect between the Federalist Party and the American people. Quincy Adams, in particular, articulated the need to announce to the world that the United States would not submit to foreign aggression. Furthermore, his call for a stronger and expanded union, even if it meant a loss of power and prestige for Massachusetts, would soon strike a chord with a growing majority of Americans. Quincy Adams personified the shift in the national mood and represented a new national perspective. When John Quincy Adams left the Federalist Party, many Americans left with him

Discipline: History

Christopher Dawson (1889-1970) was a British historian of culture and a pioneer during the 1920s in linking history with the social sciences. Much existent writing on him today simply tries to summarize his views on the historical process or on specific time-periods. There is a fundamental lack of real historical perspective on Dawson, linking him to his own intellectual environment. This thesis attempts to remedy that lack. It demonstrates that the most important years in which to understand Dawson’s development were roughly those of the interwar period (1918-1939). During those years he wrote scholarly books as well as social and political commentaries. This thesis uses Dawson’s life and writings as a window into his world—hence it is a “study in British intellectual history between the world wars.” A number of contexts will be examined through relevant archival and published source material: textual, social, cultural, and biographical, all in order to account for the numerous ideas and events that raised questions in Dawson’s mind to which he then responded in his writings. Chapter one studies Dawson’s reputation from the interwar years up until today in order to highlight his broad visibility, the diverse images through which his work was viewed, and the central themes he engaged with and which are the subjects of the following chapters. Those themes are: (1) Dawson’s entry into British sociology during the 1920s; (2) his response to the question of human progress in Britain after the Great War; (3) his response to historiographical problems surrounding religious history, nationalism, and empiricism; (4) the various ideas of religion present in interwar Britain and the wider Western world by which Dawson informed his thinking not only about religion but also about (5) those “political religions” (as he saw them) taking shape in the totalitarian regimes during the interwar years. The purpose of this thesis is to contribute to general knowledge of interwar British history, aid more historically sensitive readings of Dawson’s work today, and reveal something of Dawson’s “cultural mind”: the fundamental interdisciplinary and catholic ways of historical thinking by which he viewed the past and the present and which were his most important contributions to the discipline of history.

This thesis examines how the concept of an auteur (author of a film) has developed within contemporary Hollywood and popular culture. Building on concepts from Timothy Corrigan, this thesis adapts the ideas of the author and the commercial auteur to examine how director Christopher Nolan's name, and film work, has become branded as "realist" by the Hollywood film industry and by Nolan's consistent self-promotion. Through recurring signatures of "realism," such as, cinematic realism (immersive filmic techniques), technical realism (practical effects and actual locations), subjective realism (spectator access to a character's point of view), psychological realism (relatable motivations) and scientific realism (factual science), Nolan's work has become a recognizable and commoditized brand. Like many modern-day auteurs, Nolan himself has been used as a commodity to generate interest to his working methods and to appeal audiences to his studio films. Analyzing each of Christopher Nolan's films along with the industrial and cultural factors surrounding them, a method for understanding contemporary auteurism in Hollywood is presented. Through a consideration of extra-textual components, including promotional featurette's and journalistic interviews with Nolan, as well as his film crew, this thesis will explore how Nolan might be considered a template for a future of auteur branding.

The purpose of this study is to examine historically the presidential administration of John Christopher Stevens at Abilene Christian University from 1969 to 1981. During this time the institution grew in enrollment, faculty, facilities, endowment, and quality of educational opportunity. Limited to selected experiences and accomplishments, this dissertation examines Stevens' personal and administrative characteristics through interviews with him and those who worked with him. Materials were also used from Stevens' Presidential Archives in the Callie Faye Milliken Special Collections of the Herman and Margaret Brown Library at Abilene Christian University.

The article examines the biography and life of Abbé Christophe Gaudefroy (1878–1971), a French Catholic priest, an outstanding mineralogist and crystallographer. Father Gaudefroy belonged to the circle of French Catholic intellectuals in the priesthood and was a close friend of Father Teilhard de Chardin and Abbé Henri Breuil. After an academic career in Paris (Institut Catholique and Sorbonne University), Abbé Gaudefroy moved to Morocco in 1949 for mineralogical research. He discovered 4 new minerals and has the mineral “gaudefroyite” named after him, which has a unique chemical formula and crystal structure.

Abstract Answering from one’s visual recollections of the films, the answer to the question in the title is easy. Colin Clive (in James Whale’s and Universal Pictures’ 1931 modern-dress classic), Peter Cushing (in a string of Hammer-produced, Terence Fisher-directed gothics from 1957 onwards), James Mason (in the 1973 TV-movie, scripted by Christopher Isherwood), Gene Wilder (in Mel Brooks’s hilarious 1974 spoof Young Frankenstein), Kenneth Branagh (in the 1994 blockbuster, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein), and even the heroes in such delightfully zany send-ups as Frankenhooker (a story based on monstrous exploding prostitutes) and Frankenstein, the College Years are –– all of them –– half surgeons of genius, half mad scientists.

A busca por tornar os assentamentos humanos mais sustentáveis constitui uma das estratégias para se avançar rumo ao desenvolvimento sustentável. Este artigo tem por objetivo principal apresentar propostas para a implantação de um conjunto habitacional mais sustentável no Bairro Matiel, localizado na cidade de Feliz – RS, tendo como inspiração a obra “A Pattern Language” (1977), de autoria de Christopher Alexander e equipe [1]. A metodologia, em linhas gerais, compreende uma fase de fundamentação teórica e, posteriormente, a realização de um estudo de caso. Um dos principais resultados foi a formulação de propostas de sustentabilidade nas dimensões social, ambiental e econômica.
